REGISTRATION REMINDERS Unlicensed copies of Wilson WindowWare products are 100% fully functional. We make them this way so that you can have a real look at them, and then decide whether they fit your needs or not. Our entire business depends on your honesty. If you use it, we expect you to pay for it. We feel that if we treat you well, you will treat us well. Unlicensed copies of our products do have a registration reminder screen that appears whenever you start the program. This shouldn't really affect your evaluation of our software. We're sure that once you see the incredible quality of our software, you will dig out your credit card, pick up the phone, call the nice people at our 800 number and register the software. If you work for a large corporation, you can purchase most of our products the same way you buy your retail software. Just send the purchase request up the line. Most all the corporate software suppliers (Egghead Corporate, Software Spectrum, Corporate Software, Programmers Shop, and many others) purchase considerable volumes from us on a regular basis. When you pay for the software you like, you are voting with your pocketbook, and will encourage us to bring you more of the same kinds of products. Pay for what you like, and then, more of what you like will almost magically become available. LEGAL MATTERS Of course the usual disclaimers still apply. We are not responsible for anything at all. Nothing. Even if we are held responsible, the limit of our liability is the licensing fees you paid. The full text of our license agreement is found near the bottom of this file. HOW TO INSTALL THIS SOFTWARE Use our snazzy setup program... 1) Close down all extraneous Windows applications. (You do have to be in Windows to run SETUP.EXE) 2) Double-Click on the SETUP.EXE or use the Software install facility (if available) in Control Panel. 3) When the setup program asks for a directory, specify an initial directory, or accept the given default. 4) When the screen comes up that asks you what you want to install, do your selections, then hit the NEXT button to continue. UN-INSTALL INFORMATION This software may be uninstalled via the uninstall option in the Control Panel Add/Remove software dialog, or by running the uninstal.exe program in the installation directory. If you simply delete all the files first, you will not be able to run the uninstall program and there may still be traces of the program in various places on the system. UPDATE POLICY Wilson WindowWare frequently updates its products. There are various kinds of updates, including Major updates, Minor updates, and bug-fix updates. Minor and bug-fix updates for our shareware products are free - - subject only to our reasonable shipping and handling charges for disks. As we are not in the disk selling business, you may find that shareware vendors specializing in disk sales can easily sell disks cheaper than we can. On the other hand, we *always* have the most recent versions of our software. Our shipping and handling charges for update disks are as follows: 10.00 US and Canada for the first product. 5.00 US and Canada for each additional product. 9.50 Surcharge for shipping outside of US and Canada. If you obtain a minor or bug-fix update from Compuserve or other online service, a BBS, a shareware disk vendor or from another source, there is no charge from us (of course you will have to pay the on-line service fees, disk vendors fees, or at least pay your phone bill for downloading from a BBS). In addition, you may use a single set of disks to perform minor or bug-fix updates on any number of copies of a product. The policy and pricing for Major shareware updates vary. Depending on the nature of the upgrade, length of time since the previous major upgrade, desirability of new features added, the extent of revisions to the printed manuals (if any), work involved and possible price changes for new users, we may or may not charge fees. Update fees for major updates tend to run 20% to 40% of the cost of the product. Major updates tend to occur at intervals of 12 to 18 months. ON-LINE SUPPORT Wilson WindowWare has on-line support! Wilson WindowWare lives on the INTERNET. We maintain a World Wide Web Server and an anonymous ftp site WWW URL http://www.windowware.com FTP Site ftp.windowware.com /wwwftp/wilson/ Tech support is available at http://techsupt.windowware.com Portions of this product have been released as shareware.
